Found 2 exploits (?):
1) Before starting the play, when double-clicking the setting of the players changes, allowing preferencial start of the play
2) when attacking on the wing (especially applies to WR) when the players stamina and speed goes down just switch multiple lanes to gain extra distance from the opponent - allows to run extra 10-15 yards
Another issue is, when my laptop loses the wi-fi range (at least that seems to be the problem), after finishing the match, the game crashes.
BTW, I'm addictly enjoying the game.
